the height y of a ball thrown by a child is given by y = -1/12x^2 + 2x + 4. how high is the ball when it is at its maximum height

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of ball when it is at maximum height is 12  unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A ball is thrown by child to height y

And y as a function  x is y = [tex]-\frac{1}{12}x^{2}+2x+4[/tex]

So, for maximum value of height ,

[tex]\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}[/tex]  = 0

Or , [tex]\frac{\partial (-\frac{1}{12}x^{2}+2x+4)}{\partial x}[/tex] = 0

Or, [tex]-\frac{1}{12}(2x)+2[/tex] = 0

Or, [tex]\frac{1}{12}(2x)[/tex] = 2

or,  x = 12

Hence The height of ball when it is at maximum height is 12  unit  Answer
